A blue-ribbon panel of three dozen security experts hopes to craft a strategy to improve the United States’ cybersecurity by the time the next president takes office, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), and the task force’s Congressional sponsors, announced on Tuesday.

The bipartisan Commission on Cyber Security for the 44th Presidency will be tasked with creating a plan to secure the nation’s computers and critical infrastructure and presenting that plan to the next president. The task force is headed by Representatives Jim Langevin (D-RI) and Michael McCaul (R-TX), Microsoft’s vice president for Trustworthy Computing Scott Charney and retired Navy admiral Bobby Inman.
